August Update

Today is August 20
Oops! Only 11 days left to sew
these 40 diamonds onto the center portion...
they are all pressed and just need the paper taken
out of them and then I can get started....I figure if
I sew 5 or more each night, I'll make it.   

 But first, I've got 
to finish this...shouldn't take more than an hour, right?

I'm glad I went with the pink background
pieces as suggested..I'm liking the way it looks...
and since my applique blocks are white, I think
this was a good choice.....now on with the show...
